GORD Diagnosis

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a highly prevalent condition that negatively impacts quality of life and confers considerable healthcare costs. Although various symptoms are associated with GORD, none are characteristic for diagnosis of the disease.

This online course covers needs in the diagnosis of GORD, symptoms and questionnaires, the PPI test, endoscopy and biopsies, reflux monitoring, oesophageal manometry, barium studies and other biomarkers. Conclusive, inconclusive and paediatric GORD are also considered.

The course includes comprehensive PPT slides and video footage, including analysis of normal and abnormal high-resolution manometry traces and pH multichannel intraluminal impedance traces. The combined material has a total duration of approximately 50 minutes. The estimated time needed to complete the course, including the final assessment, is 1 hour.

This course is suitable for gastroenterologists in training and physicians and surgeons in other disciplines, as well as nurses, biotechnicians and advanced-years’ medical students who have an interest in gastroenterology.

This course, made available on www.ueg.eu and organised by United European Gastroenterology, is accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME) to award 1 European CME credit (ECMEC).Each medical specialist should claim only those credits that he/she actually spent in the educational activity. The EACCME is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS). Only those e-learning materials that are displayed on the UEMS-EACCME website have formally been accredited.
